These files present multiple views of Mozart's famous K.545 sonata. All are designed to be printed out for classroom use in the following way: print, cut, tape together, then laminate. In this way, students can easily mark the score as they listen, coming up with theories about music, noticing aspects that interest them, etc. Most of the views combine Western score notation, MIDI piano roll, an amplitude display, and a spectrogram. To learn a bit more, view this video on visualizations for...

A form for recognizing the creative rights students have over their own work, which I have students sign in my undergraduate music technology course MUS 243 at the University of Illinois. This form allows students to choose a license and stipulate what, if any, sharing they wish to be associated with their work. The creative rights pyramid suggests that curricular materials for students should favor works with few or no restrictions, such as student original work, works from the public domain,...

Here are two videos I use in my course MUS 243 Introduction to Music Education Technology at the University of Illinois. Although no studio guru, I've had enough great feedback from students that I decided to share these broadly. I've written about these videos in a column for General Music Today that should be published in 2010 or early 2011. "Microphone Placement Basics" gives an overview of how we record poetry at the University of Illinois using a basic Shure SM 58 into a laptop,...

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) marches have been an embodiment of patriotism for Americans since the late 19th century. Dedicated to the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York during 1901, Invincible Eagle is considered to be one of Sousaâs best marches. This transcription of Invincible Eagle is the result of a project in MUS 243: Introduction to Music Education Technology. Working from a manuscript available in The Sousa Archive and Center for American Music (SACAM), the students...

Dedicated to the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York during 1901, Invincible Eagle is considered to be one of Sousaâs best marches. Three different representations allow students to examine and explore the music. The top visualization presents a MIDI piano roll of the notes; the center version presents a spectrogram that depicts the overtone series, as well as...

In his book Capturing Sound, Mark Katz explores changes in violin vibrato over time as a "phonograph effect". He presents three violin recordings of Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1 recorded between 1903 and 1940. Below, the first twenty-four measures of each recording are visualized using a spectrogram that depicts time (left to right), pitch (low to high from 0-4000Hz), and volume (soft blue to medium red to loud yellow). Clearly visible between recordings are changes in vibrato...
